Lowering pistol like you can lower rifle would already look less aggressive to the bystander.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought eating food was topping up your blood and eating steaks would send it through the roof?

What are the chances of you randomly spawning on outskirts of a village on 225sqkm map with only 50 people on the server and there happen to be a sniper looking exactly at your spawn? Get real. Besides this applies to only if you change server. Also traveling between servers and spawning where you left it on each one could be exploited in so many ways and not limited to the example I made.

Not a bad idea OP, having light backpack when you start which gives you ability to outrun zombies and lose them is great. As for the no reason to not to upgrade, I think the larger backpack you have the more chance you will be shot for it.

It sucks to not know where you are and where to go, especially when you're just starting. I know people used to have Chernorus map opened in another window, but with last update I dont think you can shift tab on steam in this game any more. Well you can still print the map. I tweaked it so that it produces satisfactory results on photo paper and fine printing in 300 dpi on A4. Get it from here: http://killzonekid.com/arma-2-dayz-chernorus-map/

This is awesome.

It's fucking logical for military loot to spawn where it does(bases)' date=' medical loot where it does(hospitals and field hospitals), and mid level guns and shit where it does(houses/barns). These maps are just highlighting the buildings where these things are logically placed. Why would loot be randomly placed in a survival situation? You'd go to the hospital if you needed some meds. [/quote'] I guess he likes surprises finding stuff where he would have never though it'd be. Nothing wrong with that, and could be achieved by adding probability to loot spawn. Like 90% medical supplies will spawn in a hospital and 10% in supermarket (chemist) or even firestation (first aid?) But then you can already kill someone and loot them, how that for a surprise? :)

Dumb down? You are delusional my friend. The mouse wheel menu is in ArmA 2 and was until recently used in DayZ. No one is dumbing down anything.

Tell ya what, some people enjoy shoving dildos up their arses, and it is fine with me, but don't tell me that because I don't enjoy it too I'm spoiled.

Lazy? This has nothing to do with lazy. It is about giving user an alternative.

Maybe there is a way to get it back somehow without getting performance hit? It is faster than gear and when you are loosing blood getting bandage quicker is essential. I don't know specifics, but maybe making it static with some essential commands work? Or why not to let the game do the check that it performs every second ONLY when you scroll the wheel?

@steinmann Pretty cool, thanks!

Looks same to me.

What if in addition to the flies over dead body you can have birds circling above it so that they can be spotted from afar? Vultures, Ravens... whatever. Flies are good and help to find a body when close but birds can make it a place of interest from afar, not to mention that other players will be interested too, therefore creating a PvP. To expand on this, you can have birds starting to appear above player depending on their health status. Badly injured players can have 1 or 2 birds appearing above them and have 5-6 when died. Tree brunches. If you can somehow cut them with an axe or knife you can use them to cover stuff like tents or vehicles. Could be used just for masking purposes or if the mechanics is already in game for something else. Also this is vBulletin right? Can we have a user selectable alternative skin please? If you could just modify this skin and change red writing to white and make the theme selectable as an alternative would be great. Red is cool but makes it difficult to read effectively on black. Thank you KK

I remember Rocket was talking about adding environmental dangers to the mix. Just thinking maybe tree brunches could be used to make a temporary shelter against the rain and stuff?

Yeah, was thinking the same. Empty whiskey bottle, fuel, matches. Maybe.. Fill bottle with fuel Put it on the ground and light up Pick up and throw
